lyrics

Lazy Susan

Someone should be usin’
This old lazy Susan
And a friend of mine will want this coffee mug.
I prob’ly won’t read it,
But my bookcase, it might need it
And I’ll have to pass on that old dirty rug.
Oh, I’ve got a need for to look in every box
Someone has left for me to find
Her trash is pleasure
It’s I might not treasure
But at least the price won’t pray upon my mind.

Oh. I’ve got an itchin’
To find something for my kitchen
Something just been put out ‘cause it’s old
And I’m a-gonna
Peek and peer round every corner
In my search for little, kitschy pots of gold
End of month is here
And it’s that time of year
People moving in and moving out
Just think what I’d be making
If I could pay for all I’m taking
Man, would I be loaded
There’s no doubt.

I found record albums, plates and tools;
Ashtrays, glasses, tables, stools;
Boxes, light bulbs, lamps and lampshades, too;
Magnets, markers, pastels, paste;
Wood that would just go to waste;
And gizmos that I don’t know what they do;
Stereos and VCRs, wooden trains and plastic cars;
Books and binders; wound-up balls of string,
Photographs and furniture;
Look long enough and you’ll be sure
To find a bit of almost anything.
If I had a buck
For every piece of trash I’ve stuck
In some corner of my home to ever be
Still I wouldn’t have as many
As the nickels, dimes and pennies
That I saved on stuff I found somewhere for free.

A packrat like myself
May have junk on every shelf
But that doesn’t stop him looking for some more
When folks put out the trash
I’ll be saving lots of cash
On stuff I’d otherwise buy at the store
Let it not be forgotten
I don’t take anything that’s rotten
And mold to me strictly is taboo
I ain’t no dumpster diver
Nor a squat- or street-survivor
I’m just not opposed to objects that ain’t new.
